The B Of The Bang‘s debut single ‘Alfred, Light The Fires’ is released today. It’s available in limited CD format from the Jelly Maid Music shop and digitally from ITunes now.
Planet Sound gave the single 8 out of 10:
Like British Sea Power gone Wicker Man, the PS demo faves launch with a sombre Scott Walker vocal and deliciously evil waltz. Superb stuff.

Take Nu folk, a broodingly dark soundscape and a Jim Morrison-style baritone, shove it all in a blender, and you’ll get this sublime track. It may be hard to pigeonhole, but it’s even harder to shake out of your mind once it’s finished – we like!

Like a spooky, cabaret-version of Franz Ferdinand in charge of the college music departments instrument store, dramatic, ever twisting and toe-tappingly perverse-great stuff, in other words…
Catch The B Of The Bang playing live with their label mates at The Wedgewood Rooms on March 26th. Tickets available from here.
